Horseback Vacation in the Yukon is not for the faint of heart, this adventure through the wild of the Miners Range is for experienced riders. Hunters and trappers that explored the area a century ago broke the trails. Now we use these trails for our horse trips into the high country from our ranch.
Between Pilot and Flat Mountain you’ll find the spectacular views that make the wonderment and beauty of the Yukon a sight to behold. Our trails lead through highland brush areas, creek beds and open meadows. Once on your way in the high country, you can relax and enjoy the spirit of the Yukon.
The camp is surrounded by majestic mountains where wildlife such as Dall Sheep, Bears and Moose are often seen in their natural habitat.
You will be taken care of by 2 guides in a group of 2 – 4 guests. Your adventure is a hands-on experience including traditional cowboy meals like a “Son of a bitch” stew.
